The Scott Foster Quartet

live jazz in the bookshop every friday

Beginning this July, guitarist Scott Foster leads a quartet of his own in Bird & Beckett’s third-Friday-of-the-month slot… 5:30 to 8:00 pm… no cover charge, but your donations at the shows and your tax-deductible contributions to the Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project make it possible for us to pay the musicians. Bring a few bucks, or several, for the band and show your respect for the tradition and those who keep it alive!

Buy a book to help the shop keep the lights on!

Now in its eleven year, this long-running neighborhood jazz party hasn’t missed a Friday since October 2002!

  • First Fridays: Don Prell’s Seabop Ensemble
  • Second Fridays: The Jimmy Ryan Quintet
  • Third Fridays: The Scott Foster Quartet
  • Fourth Fridays: The Chuck Peterson Quintet

Not to be missed!
